Many families include those who are elderly, homebound or otherwise in need of constant contact with others due to health reasons. And technology is always evolving to help meet this need. Grandcare showed off its touchscreen-based system at CES 2015. The Grandcare system is powerful and extensive but still easy to use.

Jamie had a chat with Laura Mitchell, Grandcare’s Chief Marketing Officer. Laura demonstrated some functions of the Grandcare system and she explained how the system can be configured down to one button, or expanded to include more features, depending on users’ needs.

The base Grandcare terminal can be purchased for $699 from retailers such as Amazon. There’s also a $49 monthly fee in order to keep all of Grandcare’s services active.
